My doctors' offices can't seem to get my height right.. but now you're making me paranoid lol. December they said 5'8 with a good amount of comfort space into that.. my physical less than a month ago.. they say 5'6 .. pre-admissions they get me at 5'7, but I was wearing shoes. I've heard about people losing a shoe size with weight loss.. but height?

I've gained height. I was about 5'5.5". Now I'm back up to 5'6". With my weight loss I think my posture is improving... I have no real medical explanation for changes in height.

I have shrunk 3/4" in the last few years...they told me it was age :(

I'm glad I'm not experiencing any height reduction since I'm only 5' 2.5" ...lol

This made me laugh so hard! Ty for that!!

I haven't measured myself for height but standing next to my husband I keep telling him I feel like I am getting shorter. Maybe there is something to it?? Now my curosity is peaked, I'm gonna have to go measure...

I wonder if you are standing/ holding yourself differently due to your rapidly changing center of mass.

I would suggest that next time they measure your height put both feet together & flatten your back to the wall. It'll make you taller. If you stand with feet apart ( maybe pushed apart bc thighs in the way?) it'll make you shorter.

If you don't pull your toros flat on the wall the curvature of your spine will make you shorter.
